DCU take three in-a-row in dramatic fashion

DCU scored a 3-8 to 1-11 victory against University of Ulster, Jordanstown in an entertaining final. UUJ missed a penalty in the dying seconds when a goal would have taken the game into extra-time. In the sixth minute of stoppage time Aoife McDonnell’s effort was comfortably saved by DCU goalkeeper Becky Walsh.

Star-studded DCU scored two goals in the first six minutes of the second-half which changed the complexion of the game after UUJ had led by 1-5 to 1-4 at the interval.
